Unprofessional Fridays: 05/09/2014

Nice

Well that was quick.

Happy Friday everyone!

That was fast. Oh hey, speaking of golf courses, did you hear that they're opening a mini-golf place somewhere around SF? Supposed to be real expensive.

Dat turnaround, yo.

I hope they fix those weird audio dropouts on the live streams. Would have been fun to watch this live, but I didn't want to miss conversations from the random silences.

It's Friday, and it's good, but it's not Good Friday

If you are a brave gamer, if you dare to risk life and limb, insert a quarter into the MAIM Cabinet.

The audio is out of sync for me. Anyone else?

EDIT: Seems like it's not as bad after the first few minutes. Either that or I got used to it.

Yeah, the audio's a tiny bit ahead of the video.

Yeah out of sync for me too.

The lesson I learned today is that sometimes nostalgia is painful.

Audio seems to be slightly off

Vinny's Coit Tower joke killed me.

Yup, audio is out of sync.

MAME wildlife?

LETS MAME SOME WILDLIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sry

The beginning of reggae.mid scared the shit out of me because I thought it was the Fire Emblem theme.

Let's emulate arcade wildlife!

You're going to....

@vinny The other chuckleheads in the comments are just pointing out the typo and laughing, but to be clear: the header for the video should say "maim", not "mame". It's a weird word.

Only happened once during this at least. Was surprised it happened at all since audio worked flawlessly during the Castlevania stream yesterday.

I was just chuckling at the idea of MAME wildlife.

There might be a quarter-second of audio delay. Or I might be crazy.

AND Something to watch Yessss.

@wickedstyx: +.4 seemed to be the fix for the audio in VLC. I haven't got past a couple minutes, so I have no idea if it gets better as you suggest

Why am I watching playoff sports tonight when I could be watching Windows 3.1?

Vinny adding his caddy input was too funny.

So glad Chris Waters came in and killed any desire I had to every touch the copy of Red Faction: Armageddon I got from a Humble Bundle. That farting unicorn thing is pretty much the antithesis to Saints Row humor, it's wacky for the sake of being wacky.

EDIT: Chris Waters laughing at said unicorn draws a pretty definite line in the sand between Gamestop and Giant Bomb doesn't it?

I'm just glad Chris Watters came on in general. He's sociable dude, and it's nice seeing a decent person endure what might be video game Purgatory.

I forgot you could download videos. Thanks duder!

The man who wears nothing but black would know Bethpage.

To answer @brad's query about encyclopedias, at least one of them is still around. For $1,100, you too can get static books that never change their facts or update in real time. All the world's information in an inconvenient form!

Thank you Wikipedia. Thank you.

Man, that sequel to Red Faction: Guerrilla sucked. Guerrilla's single player was entirely forgettable outside of smashing a building, but the multiplayer was really good.

I love how that Ryan isn't here, anytime someone starts talking about Marvel it goes to shit. Also, Agents of SHIELD is awesome now. Has been really, really good since the beginning of the year. Not every show has an amazing first season...I' wouldn't be watching Arrow if I judged the whole show based on season 1.

a 200ms delay on VLC is pretty close to perfect

This is giving me some serious flashbacks.

I ran out of IRQs, too many ISA cards (no on board IDE controller for my hard drive)

Hell Cab is some Terry Gilliam ass shit.

@pudge: How dare he find humor in something you find stupid! I thought Chris Watters was hilarious and definitely a welcome addition for this episode without Gerstmann.

Brad you look like you lost weight or got a haircut. Either way, congratulations.

This was a pretty excellent Unprofessional Fridays. I'm always glad to see some of the GameSpot guys help out when a Giant Bomb duder is out of the office, and I thought Chris Watters was particularly great here; I'd love to see him on again.

There was. Even less than that though. I only noticed it a couple times, really.

@rekon: I didn't insult Chris Waters at all, I said that his humor is different than the usual Giant Bomb humor, and I commented on their casual association of the wacky farting unicorn monstrosity with Saints Row. Wasn't trying to be negative at all.

That being said, there's a good reason why I'm here at Giant Bomb with a gold account and I've been to Gamespot maybe three times in the last decade.

A/V is out of Sync for me.

Best UPF opening, calling it.

Always great when the Gamespot dudes ( Chris Watters and Danny O' Dwyer ) pop by. Their appearances have led to me checking out 'The Lobby' and 'The Point' on their site... pretty decent content.

Also loved the journey into 3.1 darkness today... super unprofessional !

You guys need to have Watters on more often. Funny (and well-spoken) guy.

Can't find that Quick Look of The Impossible Game Rorie mentioned

Glad that Vinny was able to play the game I sent in after a bit of fiddling. I was hoping he'd at least get to the ancient Rome stuff. :) I thought that game was amazing as a kid.
